Earlier this year, Chase created an entirely new approach to corporate philanthropy. The program, Chase Community Giving, let people help decide where Chase donated $5 million. Over 500,000 charities from across the country were involved — and the results were extraordinary. Thanks to the involvement of people like you, 100 charities in 31 states are receiving donations from Chase.

Two million people raised their hand to get involved. Millions of votes were cast for thousands of local charities. After two rounds of voting, Chase awarded the top donation of $1 million to Invisible Children — an organization that mobilizes students in the U.S. to advocate for the release of child soldiers in Uganda. The next 5 runners-up each received $100,000 and all 100 charities that made it to the second round received $25,000.

This summer, Chase Community Giving is doing it again. The power of giving is in your hands, so help Chase donate another $5 million!
